Comment
In this version the shield is less oval, more the band to which the pendant of the Order of the Elephant is attached is more visible and thick and have big knots at upper angles of shield.Interesting fact
The 1 Mark Dansk coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1692, features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned shield with the royal coat of arms, while the reverse side features a depiction of the king himself, seated on a throne and surrounded by symbols of his power and authority. This design was meant to convey the king's status as a powerful and benevolent ruler, and it has become a distinctive feature of Danish coinage during this period.
